Public Health Minister, Ghassan Hasbani, visited on Saturday the city of Baalbek, where he was welcomed by Industry Minister, Hussein Hajj Hassan and Minister of Agriculture, Ghazi Zeaiter.

"Being close to the area of operations that the Lebanese army is carrying out in the outskirts of Baalbek and al-Qaa region, we salute the army, wishing it best of luck [in its battle against Daesh] to protect Lebanon from terrorism danger," Minister Hasbani said.

"This region [Baalbek] suffered a lot of pressure, especially in terms of the burdens that the Syrian displacement has caused," Hasbani added.

In turn, Minister Zeaiter considered that the recent liberation of territories, whether by the Lebanese Army or the Resistance, serves Lebanon and the Lebanese as a whole.
